Beauty Review: Waking Up In Vegas

While I was visiting family in Utah over the holidays, I visited a store I had never been to in the Gateway Mall in downtown SLC. The store was Apothica and I sort of became obsessed with it. While I was there, I purchased my first two bottles of Deborah Lippman Polish--Marquee Moon and Dark Side of the Moon (I just love how they're all named after songs, don't you?).

After trying out Marquee Moon, I simply fell in love with not only the color, but the smooth, not-too-thick-not-too-thin formula and brush as well. I'm not obsessed with Lippmann Collection polishes. A co-worker saw me looking at the color Waking Up in Vegas (among others), told me she owned that color, and would be willing to bring it in for me to try. This was music to my ears because I already own quite a few polishes in very similar shades--I can't quite justify buying another one.

The verdict? I love this color just as much as Marquee moon. I also love that all I need is one coat for a smooth, shiny finish. I didn't even apply a topcoat over it. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a mushroomy-grey-type color. It's fab!
